Cassyille.
The hot weather for the last several
weeks has completely singed the pasture,
and almost dried up all vurdure. A
refreshing shower on the 10Th has, how
ever changed the tune as well as the
countenance of the farmers, and indeed
Of everybody. Preceding the rain we
had terrible wind storm and q large
amount of real estate exchanged hands
and ownership-and it was not the real
estate alone, good dealr of lumbe is
said to have changed hands at the saw
mill--or from the saw mill to other
yards. The wind carried sand and fine
gravel high up in the air before it, and
better lay the lumber to the wind also.
On Saturday Mr.. Charles Bennett
entered upon the scene at Cassville and
every body thought that he was after
horsethieves or some other cracksman,
and therefore, great was our surprise,
when sans ceremony, he bounced onto
Otto Keinpell and Matt Kuechenberg,
two of our peaceable citizens, and &C
quainted them with the fact that they
were absolutely his prisoners. The facts
in the case are these: since Wisconsin
has been state, CaSsville has had one
or more saloons, for number of years
one or more of the storekeepers took
out wholesale license and sold by the
gallon or more, and while meanwhile
the saloonkeepers would sell by the pint,
quart or gallon. The merchants gave
up the traffic altogether, and it is an open
secret, that every saloonkeeper has vi
olated the law, in selling in bottle and
jug, but as they claim, their U. S.
license allows them to sell anywhere below
five gallons. This suit is not instituted
by any Cassville men. Henry Stuer, OF
Ellenboro, who used to be the terror of
Cassyille and was put on the black list,
but did in spite of the black list get as
full as a goose (the two Stuer boys would
manage to get whiskey by and through
intimidation and now they, or one OF
them figures as tool of designing par
ties, TO prosecute The parties, whom in
former days they have absolutely forced
to violate the law. The defendants
being both Germans should know the
old German adage, Trau schau wem
DR.. +. NJ. Cronin has had quite q
severe sick spell-has been suffering fol
several weeks, cause, overwork. Last
Saturday he sent for Dr. Cronin, Of
Platteville, his father. DR.. Duf1in, OF
Guttenburg, Iowa, was here also. The
Doctor is up and around again, but
according to his looks he ventures out
too previous.
Monday morning, June 81, heavy
fog on the river but rising fast,
never failing sign of rain, and soon q
black angry looking mass of clouds
came moving eastward, apparently
half dozen layers of clouds, one above
the other. Some people went to the
cellars, but though a very heavy wind
was ropelling the clouds it soon be
came evident that the wind stayed
about as high as the bluff above the
village. All we got of it was fine
shower of rain and the ground is nov
fairly soaked so that the crops will pros
